Who fell asleep first?

Let me just wrap up the day for you.

We got up and took grandma to the airport. Then we went to the social security office. We were there TEN minutes after they opened and we still waited 45 minutes. Got Ash's SS number/name fixed up. Went to the library. Got treats. Came home.

Talked to fabulous neighbor Bugs. Ellie took a nap and Ashley and I headed out to do our community service project.

BEFORE:
Bugs and I moved 9,765,456,345 tumbleweeds. We cleaned of all those tumbleweeds (dried and POKY) from the three lots next to mine. Then we put them all in the pits. It was good. My arms have scratches and I am sure hers do too.

AFTER:



It looks AWESOME! And don't worry fellow neighbors, I will put my journalist-phoning skills to use to make sure the weeds do NOT return this summer. Then I worked on our yard: pulled up weeds, mowed the lawn, cleaned stuff, weed-wacked. At 6:08 p.m. the girls are in the bathtub and I am making dinner. Josh arrives. We eat. We socialize with some potential neighbors. I have a lovely, hot bath. Almost fall asleep.

Put girls to bed. Am on the floor singing to them and all of a sudden I wake up and am vaguely aware that the music stopped. Everyone is dead quiet. So..... who fell asleep first .. me or them?
